‘‘I was in the gym at the time ... we heard lots of bangs, and we thought that it was the custodian knocking stuff down. We heard screaming. And so went to the wall, and we sat down,’’ a young boy told WCBS television.

‘‘Then the police came in. It’s like, is he in here? Then he ran out. Then somebody yelled, ‘Get to a safe place’, so we went to the closet in the gym and we sat there for a little while,’’ he said, as stunned parents arrived.

‘‘Then the police like were knocking on the door, and they’re like, ‘We’re evacuating people, we’re evacuating people’. We ran out.

‘‘There are police at every door leading us down ‘This way, this way. Quick, quick, come on.’ ‘‘We ran down to the firehouse. There’s a man that’s pinned down to the ground with handcuffs on,’’ he said.
